While the team will head for Houston after Sunday night's 9-3 victory over the Rangers, Coco Crisp, the man widely credited over the past three seasons for making the A's tick, is returning to the Bay Area to have his sore neck examined, a team official said. The only blemish was the two-run homer he surrendered to old friend Adam Rosales, whose sprint around the bases was a reminder of his trademark during his A's stint. Despite his recent woes, the leadoff hitter has a .372 on-base percentage that ranks 10th in the American League and 40 points above his career average. Sunday, they had no homers but 11 singles and doubles and went 6-for-16 with runners in scoring position. Eric O'Flaherty and Ryan Cook combined for two scoreless innings, and Evan Scribner gave up an eighth-inning homer to Adrian Beltre.
